Artist Insights: Brilliant Butterflies
When Edythe Kegrize retired, she happily passed the torch of her Brilliant Butterflies series on to fellow artist and friend, Terri Steiger. Hallmark sat down with Terri to discuss her Brilliant Butterflies #6 ornament – available for purchase SOON! Keep checking back on Hallmark.com and in your local Hallmark Gold Crown store. Enjoy!
It all started out as a sketch by Edythe, and Terri said she simply continued with the materials that Edythe used.
Along the way, Terri paused for a few moments of self-reflection as well. She said, “it’s hard to try to follow such a talented artist like Edythe and intimidating since she has such a loyal fan base.” Terri went on to say how honored she is to pick up where Edythe left off. Specifically mentioning, “I love her use of blue and purple. She used a lot of iridescent colors and gems and each one looks like it’s in flight.”
Terri comes by her love of her new series honestly with her personal favorite in the series being the 2017 Brilliant Butterflies #1. With each new ornament, Terri is eager to see where the butterflies can go. Expect to see new colors, patterns, and design elements.
Terri said, “I hope to bring some vibrancy to future butterflies. I have been doing a lot of research of butterflies from around the world.” And we can’t WAIT to see that research come to life! She expressed, “every ornament is an opportunity to express something new.”

Holiday Parade #4
It’s all in the details
Tammy Haddix is introducing the fourth ornament in her Holiday Parade series. Each year, she takes inspiration from one of her fellow artists in the Keepsake Village to create the personality and details that make the ornament so special. For the 2022 edition releasing later this year, Kristina Gaughran was her muse.
Knowing how much Kristina enjoys her fairy garden at home, Tammy decided to make that the focus of this unique piece. “My Trucks always have a tree of some kind in the back,” Tammy says, “So it was fun to turn the Christmas tree into a fairy house. It’s the little touches that make these ornaments so much fun.”
When asked about the Holiday Parade ornament series, Kristina said she loves seeing what Tammy comes up with. “She’s always able to personalize each ornament to truly reflect the artists they are inspired by.”
But there was one detail that seemed like nothing more than a simple color choice but turned out to be something uniquely Kristina: The Snowman is sporting a purple scarf, and it turns out purple is Kristina’s favorite color. Tammy had no idea!
When asked about this special series, Tammy tells us that she wants “each artists to know that they are an inspiration to me in so many ways, and these ornaments are a way that I can express that.”

As for Kris, She’s “so honored to be represented in this series. And this ornament will have a special place on my tree for sure!”

Ornament Spotlight: Snowtop Lodge

18th in the series.
Snowtop Lodge #18
Don’t worry. It’s potty-trained.
Joanne Wright’s beloved Snowtop Lodge series has been a Keepsake fan favorite since it was first introduced in 2005. And while this fun and friendly snowman always has a story behind it, the newest addition to the series is inspired by the newest addition to Joanne’s family: their dog.
“We adopted Gus in January of 2020. It was only later that we found out his breed, an English cream golden retriever, was one of the most popular breeds to be adopted that year!” she tells us. And although working from home for a year and a half was a challenge for many of us, too, Joanne tells us that Gus certainly made that easier as he’s been by her side the entire time.
“I’ve grown up with animals all my life,” Joanne continues. We had a sheep farm, back east. My brothers, sisters and I helped my dad raise everything from chickens and pigs to rabbits and sheep, as well as many cats and dogs!”
And from someone who had a life filled with animals, that should give you an idea of how highly she thinks of Gus when she told us, “He has blessed us in so many ways.”
Take a look below to see a few pictures of Gus, the ornament he inspired and some of his adoptive family.
